This morning @scratchyjohnson tweeted an important factoid. Squanto, the Indian who spoke English and helped the pilgrims survive, was sold by John Smith to a Spaniards and the deed exists in the city we're in for Excursion. Rather than rolling our eyes, Alan, Gavin & I went to the state archives in Málaga to see if we can find said recorded deed of 20 Indians sold by John Smith to Juan Bautista Reales. We get to the Archives (see Alan's picture below), and a small genial white lab coat wearing gentleman who speaks no English says this is impossible to find. His new boss, the head archivist, Carmen, comes in and says it certainly exists but may be difficult to find. If you only had the year. We tell her it was 1614. She pulls up a list of the books from 29 notaries whose work they have from 1614. She asks who the notary was. We have no idea. They say they can't go through 29 archives to look for it. Also it's all in old Spanish which nobody speaks and it'll be hard to locate even if they know the Notary. So Alan and Gavin get to work. Gavin finds an article in the internet archive that seems to have a partial picture of the document. Carmen and the other archivist decipher the name after 15 min. They find that name in their cross reference. Carmen goes to the vault to look while the lab coat gentleman asks for my life history, driver's licence number and a lien on my grandchildren. Totally worth it. Carmen comes back to say she found the volume. It is tremendously delicate. Opening it may break some pages. Does it have to be today because if so the answer will be no. We ask her if this is interesting to them. Both very seriously nod their heads. We tell them this is very important to the United States and many of our friends. Carmen tells us she will find it but that it takes time. White linen gloves and patience. We tell her to take her time. She says she will take a picture and email it to me. So here's why all this is important: after Squanto was sold by an Englishman to a Spaniard names Reales, said Spaniard brought Squanto and 19 other "inios" to Málaga. He recorded the deed in the state archives. Then a Franciscan priest ransomed Squanto. Squanto became Catholic. Was baptized and confirmed in Málaga. He then made his way to England where he worked and learned English. He paid his passage back across the ocean and found his Wampanoag tribesmen. Then when the Pilgrims landed they found a Catholic English-speaking native who helped them survive their first winter. It is entirely possible that but for a Franciscan priest who ransomed Squanto, the Pilgrims may not have survived their first winter in New England. That's history. American history. And the record of it is in Málaga. In a book. One of 29 books kept by notaries in Málaga in 1614. That are still searchable. This image, when it comes, belongs in the US National Archive. This is Cultural Debris. x.com/i/status/20349… cc: @alancornett @gwbled @Gonnassaurius_ @wrathofgnon

@sharghzadeh Is this rage bait bc only normal people like those areas

@DavidRunn2 @itsJenRamos @ColinAllredTX @jamestalarico Why is it so difficult to find “what Talarico said”? What’s up with that

A Chicago woman who was adopted carries around a copy of her passport but was still detained by federal agents who didn’t believe that was her last name bc she’s Latina. Latest dispatch from @royalpratt: chicagotribune.com/2025/10/13/ice…

UPDATE: Debbie Brockman—released without charges. The veteran producer for WGN in Chicago was violently detained yesterday by Border Patrol. DHS issued a statement claiming that Brockman had thrown an object at the Border Patrol vehicle, and that she would be charged with assaulting a federal officer. A very serious charge. Now it’s gone. It would be rare for an administration, but especially this one, to drop a charge of assault of a federal officer. An eyewitness said that he saw the entire incident, and did not see Brockman throw anything. It seems that the claim DHS made would not hold up in court. Many federal judges have said that the Trump administration’s representations in court cannot be trusted. Another possibility: These were Border Patrol agents. There is no international border anywhere near Chicago, and there are significant constraints and limits on Border Patrol authority to detain and arrest people far from our borders. It is possible that the administration did not want to test this in court. I’ll stay on the story. instagram.com/share/BALRKLLK…

@alexarriaga__ @nunez_anna Horrific "Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties. Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building"

Please read this report about the people who were arrested and detained from this raid: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/20…

In the last few years we've seen: - The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer - The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC - The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi - Multiple assassination attempts against Trump - The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife - Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson - The assassination of Charlie Kirk Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all. The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.

@bormeleon nurse!!!! Someone restrain her!!

@MargBarAmerica @KatAbughazaleh Candidates for Congress actually should share their beliefs in a public forum. Congress is an important part of this country’s foreign affairs policy.

How does she do this?

Everyone seems furious about this cover but as a native New Yorker, let me just say that this specific type of transplant is load-bearing for this city. This is what Carrie Bradshaw was. They move here to take jobs in publicity or marketing, drink too much on the weekends, post overly romanticized visions of New York City constantly to prove they're the most sophisticated person who went to their suburban high school, date around first methodically and then haphazardly, crash out at 29, find a guy who grew up in another suburb, and leave the city to go raise a family in Westchester or New Jersey, where they become upstanding citizens and love to talk about their wild free youth in the city as if they didn't spend the entire time scrolling Instagram and copying every trend. They drive the nightlife in this town -- the restaurants and clubs -- with an ambitious desperation and singleminded enthusiasm that any other demographic can only DREAM of. They are an intrinsic part of the NYC experience and you should put respect on their names, these Carolines and Jessicas keep this city moving.

@ColeWozniak Congrats! Can’t go wrong with anywhere in Andersonville.

Hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email: "Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never, and if it is never, I will not continue to work here."
